    500ton trucks...

    It is impossible that you would have seen three trucks at the time of your post. It is impossible for you to see three field development trucks at minesites at the time of THIS post. Elko isn't scheduled to receive their truck until the end of this month; Wyoming will not see theirs until...

    Cat m wreck

    I'm glad that you've performed extensive market research to know what the majority does and does not want. Please post this survey/research so that we can all be persuaded by your argument. If the "majority" you write of are other operators/techs/coffee buddies in your immediate vicinity...
